0This may be the only would-be blockbuster that's a sprawling, dissociated mess on purpose. It's a perverse landmark: the first postmodern Hollywood disaster.
-
0A movie this unspeakably awful can make an audience a little crazy. You want to throw things, yell at the actors, beg them to stop. But the film drags on, digging horrible memories into the brain -- like Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello's singing.
-
25Just awful There is probably not one interrupted 60-second stretch in which a line of dialogue doesn't clunk, an action doesn't ring false or an irritating plot turn doesn't present itself. [25 May 1991]
-
0Even Willis seems a bit bewildered at times, as if asking himself how he managed to get into such a mess. [24 May 1991]
-
20Everybody figured producer Joel Silver and Willis couldn't lose and guess what? They all rolled craps.
-
38It ends up choking on a never-ending stream of inept gags... A worst-case scenario of wackiness gone out of whack. [24 May 1991]
-
10A colossally sour and ill-conceived misfire.
-
30Despite all of its failures of wit, sense, and pace, the film does most effectively flaunt the millions spent on it. The inane action takes place in splendiferous settings. [23 May 1991]
-
Boring and banal, overwrought and undercooked, Hudson Hawk is beyond bad. [24 May 1991]
-
20A relentlessly annoying clay duck that crash-lands in a sea of wretched excess and silliness.
-
Merely airheaded where it should be lighthearted, Hudson Hawk offers a klutzy, charmless hero, and wallows dully in limp slapstick and lowest common denominator crudeness.
